On this first day of summer, I can truly say that it feels as though the season has arrived. The menu sitting on our kitchen counter for this week's meal consisted of mostly grilled dishes. The flowers in our patio have grown from small sprouts to lush blooms.
Summer cocktails or an evening beer have replaced glasses of red wine. And Lilah has assumed her favorite position atop the stairs leading from our deck to the patio.
Our summer evenings are our favorite. Dinners eaten on the patio. Baseball games listened to on our roof deck with a refreshing beer in hand. And maybe a bowl of ice cream for dessert. Not a whole lot needs to be done or said, but relaxing and enjoying the moment takes presidence instead.
I'm so ready for summer. It's been a long and rainy spring, but this weekend it's going to be officially HOT, and I'm eager to get outside. I think we'll be using our grill a lot, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's the longest friday of the year! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're out during the weekend, be in the look out for this year's super moon!
One of the best things of summer is having dinner outside!
